Does he like Star Wars? We got my son a green light saber for Xmas and then a red one for his birthday - the Hasbro ones are only a tenner from memory - we also got him a jedi costume at xmas which has gone down really well.


we were also given (by a kind forumite) - the most fantastic millenium falcon bag which doubles up as a lego-carrier (with little straps for minifigures) - my son loves it. Some kind of lego storage might keep them both happy?!

Power rangers? My 5 year old is into anything super hero related - dressing up, figures, bat mobiles etc. also generally any kind of vehicle. He also likes little non fiction books on knights and castles....and also is currently into making rainbow loom bands like all the girls!


Oh - if he likes building things they do some sort of junior meccano which my eldest likes.


Or books? We're just getting into more 'big boy' paperbacks rather than always reading picture books - a nice thing to enjoy with them.

Anything to do with superheroes, dinosaurs or pirates. If he's just starting reading then there as some early readers avengers/dc superheroes books. Or a superhero dressing up costume.

Or some hot wheels loop the loop track plus some cars?


If he likes drawing, then we borrowed an amazing "how to draw dinosaurs" book form the library which was excellent for our 5 year old, but I've never found another one quite as good: all either too difficult or not quite as clear to follow.

Play Mobil always popular

My son got a butterfly garden set for his 6th birthday which he loved, you get a voucher to send of for the caterpillars which you then keep until they're butterflies before letting them go. My son was fascinated.

Gross science kits are cool

Super hero fancy dress costumes

A stomp rocket. Always been a hit for anyone that we've bought one for. Or even just a Toys R Us voucher. My 4 and 6 year olds were ecstatic to be given a voucher and be able to wander round a toy shop and choose something they wanted. Playmobil always good too for that age group.

    • I can't answer your question. But on them generally: it's changed hands in the last year or so, I think. I paid £35 for interior and exterior and they did a crap job. I'll go to the one on Herne Hill (or just do it myself if health allows) next time.
    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
